Rest In Peace ~ 1978 - 2017"I'd consider myself a realist, alright? but in philosophical terms I'm what's called a pessimist. It means I'm bad at parties." - Rust Cohle"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize that half of 'em are stupider than that." - George Carlin"The internet: It's like a training camp for never amounting to anything." - Oglaf"I think internet message boards and the like are dangerous." - Anno

I figured this would be a decent place to make a first post. I've only seen When Marnie Was There once but I have the Blu-Ray and it made me we weep like a baby when I saw it in the theater so I think it counts.

Here is mine for now. It was kind of hard to think of nine that were without a doubt my favorite, even though when I watch something it either hooks me or I move on (with some exceptions, I don't watch anime too much).

Avatar: "Here is a magical girl who would not take it anymore""Surprise is an insubstantial blade, a sword worthless in war. It breaks when troops rally, it snaps when commanders hold the line, but fear never fades. So let the enemy know we come, let their fears defeat them as everything falls dark, as the worlds sun sets, as the city is wreathed in its final night. Let ten thousand howls promise ten thousand claws. The Night Lords are coming, and no soul that stands against us shall see another dawn"-excerpt from The Tenebrous Path

Carkolum: 4.5/9 unless that top left one is Lain, then it would be a 5.5. I give myself a .5 for Zeta Gundam because I haven't finished it, then Eva, Tatami Galaxy, Texhnolyze, and Gunnbustah.

Kaz: 4/9, NHK, Jin Roh, KLK, and Madoka/Rebellion. Though Kanon, Elfen Lied and Black Lagoon are on my to watch list. I don't recognize the other two, maybe I am a tru n00b.

Mine, updated for 2017!

SPOILER: Show

Lain, Millennium Actress, Eureka Seven(new, took over Kiki)Gunbustah, Ping Pong(still favorite other than NGE), Hoshi no KoeMadoka(put in a Rebellion image as I like it more than the series), Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju(new, replaces Angel Beats!!, Bebop

I used to work in a factory and I was really happy because I could daydream all day -- I.C.And thanks to EVA, I've started like myself and that has made me very happy. Mr. Anno, please keep working on EVA a lot more. and thank you so much for everything!!

@Mr. Tines circa Aug ‘16 : 4/5Head-in-a-box gets the minus 1 for me.I don’t think I’ve heard you gush over the Count, Mononoke or Dennou Coil before; probably the reason I haven’t seen those yet. I’ve been meaning to watching Ballerina Duck at some point.

@pwhodges circa Aug ‘16: 2/4Pluses go to Monster and Now and Then, although one does not exactly enjoy the latter. Haven’t actually finished Monster yet, I stopped around episode 400 or so…Dropped Ryvius, and with maturity I can no longer see the “good parts” of Elfen Lied like I used to, unfortunately.

@Joy Evangelion ‘17 update: 3/5Gunbuster’s dated. Liked Actress. Bebop is a plus 1, but I make it a habit to always say it’s overrated.Still have yet to see Ping Pong, maybe when I go home for Christmas…

@KL7: 6/8Have yet to see any space dandy.I enjoy(ed) the top left one, but only when dubbed by the Ocean group.Not a fan of Middle School of the Dead, despite the inclusion of a pinky in the ranks.I’m not sure about the one in the middle, but I think I saw it and liked it. Maybe.I see you used the wrong image for Fate/Zero, otherwise that might have made this a 7/8.

^Funny, I thought you would give Planetes a minus because I remember you taking issue with its ending.

No, I didn’t/don’t like Yu3’s ending (blimey, I’m not exactly the biggest fan of either of the Evangelion endings), but not enough to earn the whole package a thumbs-down.Bad endings often do -but don’t always- ruin a good show.

KL7 : 7/7 Haven't watched whatever Fate show that is, and Jojo is on my longer form anime to watch list(I think next long one I'll be watching is Cardcaptor Sakura.) Don't know if I should say I did watch DBZ, as there were definitely a lot of episodes I missed(it wasn't my fault I had American football practice when they were airing the Buu saga). But I did play the CCG, so I'll say I watched it anyway. School Live rips, and I'm glad you liked my recommendation ReLife. Since our animmay tastes seem pretty similar I say watch Ping Pong(though people on here may be sick of me saying to watch Ping Pong).

Chaz: 1/1...guess which show we've both watched(hint, most fans consider its best episode to be Episode 07: The Human Creation/A Human Work). Rokka and Planetes are on my list though...and I have watched the video for "One More Time" and "Digital Love" many times. Re: your thoughts on Bebop; I think one can only truly appreciate it if they watched it for the first time on Adult Swim in 2002-2003, out of order and with the very overrated dub, haha. Seriously though, I think for a lot of yankee anime fans of my generation Bebop was the first "serious" anime we watched and it sort of got us into the genre as a whole. I can say for sure that without Bebop I would have never watched NGE, would have never gotten into anime, and my life would then seriously lack direction. Also, watch Ping Pong.
